Dolly

TSF has a comprehensive range of industry-standard cinema dollies for rent for feature films, TV series, commercials, and music videos. A cornerstone of professional grip equipment, these dollies provide the foundation for demanding tracking setups, from simple camera moves to complex configurations incorporating cranes, offset arms, motorized remote heads, or operator platforms.

TSF’s inventory includes dollies from Chapman Leonard, JL Fisher, MovieTech, and Panther, with each range suited to different production requirements. The Chapman Leonard PeeWee IV/IV+ has become an industry standard for its compact size and versatility, while the Hybrid IV and V provide greater capacity and configuration options for more ambitious setups. With its fast telescopic column and extensive vertical travel, the Chapman Cobra is particularly well suited to tracking shots requiring smooth changes in camera height during the move.

Known for their smooth movement and mechanical precision, the JL Fisher 10 and 11 remain industry favorites for narrative productions where camera movement quality is critical. The MovieTech Magnum stands out for its modular design and compatibility with a wide range of grip accessories, while the Panther Classic and Panther S3 are valued for their ergonomics, quick setup, and ability to adapt to a variety of shooting environments.

TSF teams work closely with key grips to select the most suitable dolly based on the desired camera movement, camera package, onboard accessories, and the specific requirements of each shot.
